Qatar bribed 8 players from Ecuador for the opening match

[seoincorporation]

It's one of those hot news, and you can find in almost all the Newspapers.

It looks like Qatar bribed eight Ecuadorian players for $7.4 millions to lose the wold cup opener. And this isn't weird to me, i mean if they already pay a shit ton of money to have the world cup in their country then we can expect from this world cup to be the most corrupt event in the Soccer history.

Right now odds pays x3.26 if Qatar win, i know is a risky bet but i'm almost sure they will win. Will you place bets on this game after knowing about the bribe?

I would not be surprised at all if this indeed happened, but unfortunately this is one of those things in which we will have to watch the game and see the performance of Ecuador to determine if there is something fishy going on during the match, however if it is confirmed this happened it will be yet another stain on this world cup, which has been incredibly polemic from the very day that Qatar was selected as the host

If you are very familiar with the Ecuador team, you can easily spot if they are playing it for real or not.
But this kind of bribe may not come as a surprise, especially if they have money to spend and they want fame on top of that.
Qatar may have the goal to win no matter what, but such goal is not fair if they will resort to this kind of cheating and corruption.
I don't think they can celebrate it fully if they know what transpired just to get such coveted multi-million dollar trophy.

Questions here is, how did they know Qatar is offering a bribe to Ecuador players to lose the game? Are these players exposed it to the public that they're being bribed? (Sorry, I have not read the whole article).
This will actually cause a confusion towards the bettors. Whether who's telling the truth. But, if you're a fan of football and you always watch these guys play, you can easily notice if they're bribed.

I am not a football fan but this is not good for Football sports and the World cup the organizers should do an investigation into the credibility of the events in doubt who would want to see a sporting event where you already know the result this is the number one sport in the world the football community should move to stop corruptions the event will end up not who's the better team but who's country can afford to bribe players, we'll see in the actual game if they will deliberately lose to Qatar, but if Qatar loses then the rumor is not true.

[bitcampaign]

I also heard this news but I'm still not sure about the truth, therefore I still believe Qatar will win with a narrow score of 1 - 0 against Ecuador later in the opening ceremony of the world cup because this is a prestigious event, of course Qatar wants its country to qualify for the last 16, soon world cup is about to start

For me after all of this news im honestly confused. I have Ecuador to win but now im confused and dont know what will happen. Now probobly the players of Ecuador are scared so even if the bribe was real that wont happen now. So really looking forward to seeing what will happen

[Welsh]

Yeah, lets not jump ahead of ourselves. It's being reported by newspapers, rather than reputable sources. Until it's proven, we won't know. At the moment, it's just allegations, and there's no way that they've already proven this.

It's a Qatar, so there's going to be all sorts of drama's over the next month. We already know what's happened prior to the event, which has obviously fuelled these allegations, and I suspect it won't be the last. I do think there needs to be a thorough investigation done to the people who died building the stadiums, that goes without saying. However, I'm not just going to believe allegations based on that.

[blockman]

OMG, if this is for real then I guess the World Cup officials will be putting a mark 'x' on Qatar for future hosting events. I'm just starting to look at football and this is what I see, although I know that this also happens elsewhere in other sports.
But this is an official World Cup and it's something that would put a stain on Qatar's reputation for hosting this huge event. But I'll wait for more reputable news source to clarify and verify the news.

These news are becoming funny lately with gulf countries everything is possible with filled bags of money, Qatar has small if not 0 chance to win the world cup this year against strong teams as brazil or argentin so winning the first match against Ecuador won’t really add nothing to them but a waste of money. But as we know Qatar is very rich and also capable of doing it just to make their people believe in development of their football team and give them more opium. The person who published about that news is not very reliable and mostly doing it for fame and more followers. Xd maybe it’s a good chance to bet on Qatar winning and get some profits of it at least.

[bitbollo]

in these cases (rigged match) an odds must be monitored to understand if there are "strong" movements.

In my personal experience I have seen a couple of times cheated matches here in Italy.
when the odds occur you see literally unreal numbers (example exact result 2-2 at 1.50 at the start of the market).
odds of 3.26 at the moment don't seem like odds for a cheated game

[GiftedMAN]

Am no longer surprised whenever I get to see this kind of news about a football game because the football body has not taken any disciplinary actions against offenders who have violated the law by offering bribes in a football tournament for other teams to misbehave so some other teams can win in a game it's a shame to Fifa and football governing body.

If the information we have seen in the papers are true then we leave Fifa with no option but to discipline Qatar and Ecuador so that other countries can learn not to pay bribes to get a good result in a game.

If that is the case then I wouldn't put a bet on Qatar, crypto bookies might void our bets specially if this news is true. And I do agree that it will put a black eye on Qatar as host in this Cup and maybe they will received a severe punishment, their organization and the players involved.

Not sure how this news leaked out, maybe someone didn't get the bribe that he has supposed to get?

And this really messed up everything in this World Cup as there will be a lot of suspicions, as who's who on the pocket or what players deliberately take a dive to lose their game.

[Zilon]

This is mere allegation until there is more evidence to the names of the Ecuador players who were bribed including concrete evidence because it could be a fabricated story framed by Newspaper publishers to destroy the reputation of Qatar. But if this proves to be true then Qatar will be at high risk of never hosting the world cup again for a very long time, if not forever. I will have to avoid betting on the opening game.

Now that it already comes out surprisingly with a big amount there should not be a spill but I guess some players want more, or it comes from players who did not get their pay, it's not going to be a good win, and every time Qatar plays there will be suspicious if they bribe their opponent and how much, this is not good for the host country and the sport, in general, it's up to the governing body to penalize Qatar if they found out this is true, but can they?

[darkangel11]

I agree with others who said that we don't know if it's true. It's very likely that judges will be favoring Qatar like they did when Austria was hosting Euro 2008. I remember there was some controversies regarding their matches because the judges were very harsh towards their opponents.

If they get hard evidence of bribes taken by Ecquador I expect both teams to be banned. Don't put too much money on this match because the information about the bribe could be fake and spread to manipulate the odds.

It's a very risky bet, especially now the news has "leaked" and Ecuadorian players will be especially scrutinized in their performance on the pitch. Judging by the odds being offered all over the place, it's possible that they might be inclined to give the hosts at least a draw, but it does really show how weak the home team are in this tournament. Qatar already got the first game of the tournament rescheduled to their own game, so these sort of sly tricks don't seem that farfetched either. It's a country that is swimming in oil money and one of the most anti-democratic governments you'll find, they are trying to buy prowess on the world stage and would no doubt pay bribes to secure what they think is a benefit.

If Qatar could bribe Equador for the first game, it is also likely that they bribed their way through to win the rights to host this world cup. I thought they were a really religious country with strict rules. If they really bribed their way through and made this bribe to Equador players, then they are just mere hypocrites. Bribing will not get them far since they cannot and it is impossible to give bribe to all the team that are in the world cup to represent.

[dothebeats]

If this already made waves, why would bookies still want to put this out in the lines? I am not, in the least bit, surprised that this is happening, but man if everyone and their mothers know what's about to go down, why put money on to it and bet on it? It's just nuts. I would avoid this event like the plague but still keep watching closely. Probably, Qatar is going to win and Ecuadorians would make it look like they still tried but meh, both teams should be severely penalized for this flagrant action.

They cannot bribe all the team they just want to have a better standing from their last standing in the last cup and their country s the one hosting it and they want to show pride and better performance, but since this blew up, will they have a face to show to their countryman, they will just say Oh Our team wins, yes they should it comes with a big amount, Qatar will end up a laughing stock on this event.
